Thanks to Gabor G., Duncan M., and Hong O. for helpful replies. I've made some progress, but have two questions.
Can anyone explain *how* R CMD searches for latex? I have provided a batch file (shell script) and and alias (I use a Windows command shell with aliasing) that each provide the proper VTeX command when "latex" is typed from the command line. The batch file in on my PATH, but "R CMD check" still fails when it searches for latex. Is there any way around this, or will I have to relent and install MikTeX solely for this purpose? Also, R CMD build makes a tarball. Can I simply ZIP the same material that's in the tarball to make a working Windows installable package?
